Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 41TS
In a population of songbirds, 100 young are born in the year
2010. Each year, 10 individuals die. Make a table showing
how many individuals are alive in each year from 2010 to
2020. Now draw a survivorship curve for the population.
Does this songbird population have Type I, Type II, or
Type III survivorship?

A research team is studying a population of snails to determine how quickly characteristic B will pass from one generation to the next. At the start of the study, 20% of the snails have characteristic B. After five generations, 81% of the population has characteristic B. Find
the percent of the population that will have characteristic B after eight generations. (Assume a = 2 and b = 1. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
%
A population grows exponentially at about 2%
per year. Assume that the population starts with
15 individuals. How many individuals will it have
after 10 years? After 20 years? How long will it
take for the population to double?
Answer properly please
At the beginning of an experiment, there are 100 bacteria. If the bacteria follow an exponential growth pattern with a rate k = 0.002, what will the population be after 5 hours? how long will it take for the population to double?

For simplicity, let's that say the system only consists of chipmunks which eat plants, snakes which eat the chipmunks, and hawks which eat the snakes. The plants produce 5,550,000 kcal of energy, the chipmunks have 780,000 kcal of energy available, and the snakes have 48,000 kcal of energy available. If each hawk needs 200 kcal of energy on average, how many hawks can this ecosystem support? Use the 10% rule.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the "greenbeard" effect is correct? Richard Dawkins first hypothesized the existence of the "greenbeard" allele to explain why we observe some unusual phenotypes, such as green beard. According to the hypothesis, the reason why the greenbeard phenotype is selected for is because the greenbeard individuals would preferentially receive altruistic benefit from non-greenbeard individuals. The reason why the "greenbeard" hypothesis is possible is because when direct fitness and indirect fitness are in conflict, it is always the factors that increase the direct fitness that will triumph over the factors increasing the indirect fitness. The "greenbeard" effect shows that it is possible to evolve altruistic behavior toward individuals who are not genetic kin.arrow_forward

Fat is a good form of energy storage because it provides the most energy per unit mass: 1.00 grams of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories, compared to 4.20 (food) Calories per 1.00 grams of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories associated with food, which are always capitalized, are not exactly the same as calories used in physics or chemistry, even though they have the same name. More specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of mechanical work or 4184 joules. Therefore, in this problem use the conversion factor 1 Cal 4184 J.
